Saint Peter's church in Cluj-Napoca

Saint Peter's Church exhibits two clock towers reaching 45 meters in height and contains three chapels adorned with painted altars along its nave.

Constructed between 1718 and 1724 through Jesuit fundraising efforts, the church underwent a transfer to Piarist administration in 1776 by decree of Empress Maria Theresa.

The church entrance displays a bas-relief of the Holy Trinity with Latin inscriptions, reflecting the religious artistry prevalent during its construction period.

Located in central Cluj-Napoca at coordinates 46.776688, 23.607141, the church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors interested in historical architecture.

In 1956, the church became the site of a significant protest when Romanian Greek-Catholic Church members conducted an open-air mass despite official restrictions.
